v SPECIFICATION forming para of Letters Patent 1\;r0.e75.062` dated May 2S. 1901- Application filed September 28, 1900. Serial No. 31,345. (No model.)

To alZZ whom it may oon/cern,.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE G. GUY, a resi dent of Batavia, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in pumps, and Ihave shown them as applied to a pump of the style known as kitchen force-pumps,77 although it will be understood that they might be applied to other kinds of pumps.

Myinvention is designed, primarily, to produce a pump in which the spout or handle, or both, can be adjusted to any angular relation that may be desired with reference to surrounding object-s, and that without shifting the position of the base or supporting piece. It is also designed to produce a novel combination for securing the barrel and its checkvalve in position on the base-piece.

Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which the same reference characters are used to designate identical parts in all the views, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the complete pump. Fig. 2 is a plan View in section on the line A A of Fig. A1. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the base-piece, and Fig. 4 is a detail in vertical section on the line B B of Fig. 2.

The base-piece 5 is generally circular in shape and is provided with the legs 6, by which the pump is supported, and which may be secured in any desired position by bolts or screws passing through the holes 7. This base-piece 5 has the preferably circular ap erture 8 therein. An annular flange 9, concentric with this aperture 8, is formed on the under side of the base and serves, together with the union 10, asa means for connecting the pump to the supply-pipe 1l. Immediately surrounding the aperture 8 on the upper side is the annular plane surface 12, and next to this is formed the annular groove or channel 13, which in turn is surrounded by the annular plane surface 14, which is on the same level as the surface 12. The vertical shoulder 15 separates the plane surface 14 from the annular plane surface 16, which is on a slightly-higher level thanthe surface 14.

l This surface 16 has formed therein the elongat-ed curved apertures 17, which are concentric with the body of the base-piece and are for the purpose to be described. The plane surface 16 is bounded by an inclined annular surface 18, which connects the surface 16 to the outermost annular surface 19. The under side of the base-piece 5, except for thelegs 6 and the flange 9, might be plane; but I preferably form on said under surface the annular channel 20, which is opposite to the annular flange of which the surface 16 is the upperside. Resting upon the annular bearingsurfaces 12 and 14 is the barrel check-valve 21, which, as best shown in Figs. 2 and 4, consists of the leather ring 22, resting upon the bearing-surface 14 and having at the center thereof the substantially circular iiap portion 23, which is connected with the annular portion by the strip 24. To hold the ap porm tion 23 on the bearing-surface 12, with which it cooperates, I provide the metallic piece 25, which is of the shape shown in Figs. 2 and 4 and is secured to the center of the flap portion 23 by the screw 26, in the manner clearly shown in Fig. 4.

The cylindrical barrel 27has the cap-piece 28 secured thereon in any desired manner, as by being screwed thereon, and this cap-piece 28 is provided with the spout 29, from which the water may be delivered directly or to a pipe that may be attached thereto in any desired manner. The center portion of the cap 28 is provided with the packing-gland 30, through which reciprocates the piston -rod 31, and which connects the piston (shown in dotted lines) with the upper end of the handle-lever 32, to which it is pivotally secured cured, as at 34, in the yoke-arms 35 of the swinging fulcruxn-piece 36, the lower end of which is formed in a yoke 37, the arms of which are formed of comparatively thin metallic strips,which have projecting outwardly from the lowerends thereof the lugs 38, which are sprung into apertures 39, formed in the vertical bearing-lugs 40, which project upwardly from one side of an annulus 41. This an nulus 41 is of the shape shown in cross-section in Fig. 4, and has as many apertures 42 at 33, and which in its turn is pivotally se-l IOO therein as may be necessary to accommodate the screw-bolts 43, lwhich pass through the apertures 42 and the slots 17 and have cooperating therewith the nuts 44, by which the aunulus 41 is secured in position upon the base. ABy merely loosening the screw-bolts it will be apparent that the handle 32 can be adjusted to any desired position through the angular limits of the apertures 17, and by entirely removing the bolt-screws 43 the handle can be adjusted in any angular position desired without any limit.

As seen in Fig. 4the `barrel 27 has its lower end swaged or spun outward to form the horizontal flange 45, which when the parts are assembled rests upon the leather aunulus 22, and which in turn supports the bearing-surface 46, formed on the Linder side of the annulus 41, by reason of the channel 47 on the undel side of said aunulus 41. With the construction thus employed it will be apparent that as the nuts 44 are tightened upon the screw-bolts 43 the barrel 27 will be clamped very firmly in position upon the leather annulus 22, thus forming a simple and eflcient water-tight connection between the pump barrel or cylinder and the base-piece, and one which will allow the barrel 27, and consequently the spout 29, to be turned into any desired position of adj ustment, the possibility of such changes being illustrated by the full and dotted line position of said spout in Fig. 1, while the possibility of changes in the position of the handle are indicated in Fig. 2 by the full and dotted line position of the bearing-lugs 40, which control the position of the handle.

With the structure herein described it will' beseen that I have produced a simple and practical connection between the pump-barrel and the base-piece, which also permits of the adjustment of the pump-spout and the lhandle into any angular position that may be desired.

While I have illustrated my invention as embodied in the form which I at present consider best adapted to carry out its purpose, it will be understood that it is capable of some modifications, and that I do not desire to be limited in the interpretation of the following claims, except as may be necessitated by the state of the prior art.
